Platelet-fibrin retinal emboli from aortic arch atheroma. Multiple grayish emboli (arrows) are seen in a few branches of the central retinal artery. The whitish areas in the retina correspond to associated retinal ischemia. Although the patient was not aware of visual loss, a visual field test showed multiple small scotomas corresponding to the areas of ischemic retina.
